The (tentorial sinus) is situated at the line of junction of the
Falx Cerebri with the
Tentorium Cerebelli .
It is triangular in section, increases in size as it proceeds backward, and runs downward and backward from the end of the
Inferior Sagittal Sinus to the
Transverse Sinus of the opposite side to that into which the
Superior Sagittal Sinus is prolonged.
Its terminal part communicates by a cross branch with the
Confluence Of The Sinuses . Besides the
